Transformer Analysis: Comparing Measured and Analytical Values

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around comparing analytical and measured values of a single-phase transformer. Key parameters include Rcore, Xcore, and equivalent circuit values obtained from open and short circuit tests. Participants suggest using an equivalent circuit model to analyze the data from the load test and compare it with open and short circuit results. There is uncertainty about how to calculate the transformer's efficiency and power output based on the provided measurements. Clarification on measurement methods and parameters is also sought to better understand the analysis process.

I am asked to compare analytical values of the loaded transformer with measeured values of the transformer. I have got no clue how to do that. The transformer is singl ephase 230/115V with rated secondary current 0.43 A.
According to open circuit test the Rcore = 15.9kOhm, Xcore = 10.5kOhm. From SC test Req= 80 Ohm,
Xeq = 33.8 Ohm, Zeq = 86.8 Ohm

I have values of load test as follows. The load is connected to secondary R= 150k Ohm,
Vp = 211V, Ip= 24 mA, Pp = 3.2W, Vs = 115.1, Is=0.75 mA.

I am not sure what to do with that data. I also don't know how to find actual efficiency of the transformer. What is the power output of that transformer?
Thank you

What exactly is "Rcore" and "Xcore"? Also your "ewq" parameters. How exactly were they measured?

What you should have measured id

have you been introduced to an equivalent circuit model? I would guess that you have to compare your results from the 150k loaded experiment, to the results from the open and short circuit experiments.

What you need is:

with no other connections to the transformer:
primary inductance L11
primary resistance R1
secondary inductance L22
secondary resistance R2

with primary excited:
secondary voltage, open-circuit secondary: V2(oc)
secondary voltage, loaded secondary: V2(150K)

You might also determine the reverse voltage gain, i.e. V1(oc) and V1(150K) with V2 excited, although that should be redundant.

EDITED:
Not sure what the intent here is. Looks like you are to do just the unexcited measurements (the first four) and then assume a fully coupled transformer (k = 1.0) and compare the caculated output voltage with the measured one. But I'm just guessing.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
